Right now, this organisation is at a genuine inflection point. New leadership. New systems. New direction. A business with strong foundations, now ready to think, plan and perform at a completely different level. But there s one thing missing. A modern FP&A capability. Not a reporting function. Not a spreadsheet factory. Something far more powerful. A function that shapes decisions. Challenges thinking. Brings clarity to complexity. And becomes central to how the business moves forward. That s where you come in. Why This Role Is Different You re not inheriting legacy. You re not navigating politics. You re not trying to fix something half-built. You re stepping into a blank canvas - with full backing from a CFO and leadership team who want this built properly . This is your opportunity to: Design how planning, forecasting and performance tracking should actually work Build models that reflect reality, not just history Introduce meaningful KPIs that drive behaviour, not just measure it Turn data into insight that leaders can act on immediately Help embed new systems and ways of working that elevate the entire business In short - you won t just report on performance. You ll help define it. The Bigger Picture You re Walking Into This is a well-established, multi-million-pound organisation with a strong reputation in its market. But like many businesses that have grown over time, it s now evolving. Significant investment in systems and technology A leadership team bringing fresh thinking and external perspective A clear focus on improving visibility, decision-making and performance A business that has been through challenge - and is now building forward with intent Everything is aligned. The only missing piece is someone who can bring structure, insight and commercial clarity to the numbers . What You ll Actually Be Doing This isn t theoretical FP&A. It s hands-on, high-impact and visible. You ll be: Building forecasting and planning frameworks that the business can rely on Developing models that connect operational drivers to financial outcomes Creating KPI suites that genuinely reflect performance across the business Partnering with operations, engineering and commercial teams to influence decisions Improving reporting so it becomes sharper, faster and more insightful Supporting the rollout of new systems and improving how data flows across the business Bringing modern tools (think Power BI, advanced analytics) into everyday use You ll move between detail and big picture constantly. One moment deep in the numbers. The next shaping conversations at a senior level. The Kind Of Person Who Thrives Here This role isn t for someone who wants a neat, finished environment. It s for someone who sees opportunity in that. You might recognise yourself if you: Enjoy building models more than maintaining them Spot when something doesn t look right - and dig until you understand why Like asking why do we do it this way? (and then improving it) Are naturally curious about how a business really works Are comfortable working with ambiguity and turning it into clarity Want your work to influence decisions, not just document them Background-wise, you ll likely have: A professional qualification (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) Exceptionally strong FP&A, commercial finance or analytical experience. Exposure to complex, data-rich environments Manufacturing (or related sectors) helpful Confidence working with senior stakeholders What This Role Becomes Right now, it s a standalone, build-from-scratch opportunity. But it won t stay that way. As the capability grows, so does the role: The chance to build and lead a team Broader ownership across commercial finance and strategy A key role in shaping how the business uses data and insight long-term This is one of those roles you look back on and say: That s where everything accelerated. Why It s Worth Exploring Because roles like this don t come around often. The timing. The backing. The freedom. The scope. Everything is there. All it needs is someone who can see the opportunity - and build something exceptional from it. If you re ready to move from analysing performance to shaping it, this could be your moment.

Product Manager - Platform Technology Employment Type: Contract Inside IR35 Duration: 10 Months Umbrella Rate: 550/day Location: Exeter (Hybrid, 3 days onsite per week) Clearance Level: Eligible for SC Opportunity Overview We are working with a leading UK organisation to find an experienced Product Manager for a key role within their Platform Technology function. Our client is undergoing a significant technology modernisation programme and needs a skilled product professional to help shape and improve the internal platforms their developers, scientists and service teams depend on every day. This is a rare opportunity to practise real product management in a complex, data-intensive environment - working at the heart of a mission-driven organisation where the work genuinely matters. About the Role The Platform Technology team is responsible for shared, cross-cutting capabilities including developer tools, APIs, data pipelines and infrastructure services. The incoming Product Manager will be responsible for making these platforms reliable, discoverable and enabling - reducing delivery friction, improving user experience, and helping downstream teams ship faster and more safely. Job Function Support the development of a business case to invest in service enhancements and engagements with third-party suppliers. Own the roadmap and backlog for one or more shared technology platforms and deliver to the agreed product vision. Work with engineers, architects and delivery teams to deliver incremental improvements that make platforms easier to use and maintain. Understand internal users, from developers to operations staff, and translate their needs into clear priorities. Investigate and develop measurable service outcomes (adoption, usability, performance) and use data to track progress. Balance short-term reliability with long-term sustainability and compliance. Facilitate collaboration across technical and non-technical stakeholders; communicate trade-offs transparently. Champion product-led, user-informed, iterative ways of working in a complex, legacy/brownfield environment. Requirements Proven experience managing developer infrastructure products and associated cloud technologies (e.g. AWS, Azure, shared services). Experience successfully managing commercial and bought-in services. Ability to apply and adapt Agile and Lean practices in an engineering-focused team. Strong understanding of user-centred product development - even when the 'users' are other engineers. Skilled at prioritising by outcome using approaches such as impact vs. effort or cost-of-delay. Confident working with cross-disciplinary teams and senior technical stakeholders. Comfortable operating in environments with legacy systems, competing priorities and incomplete information. Excellent communicator - able to translate complex technical issues into clear decisions and trade-offs. Why This Role? Our client operates at significant scale, managing vast volumes of data in support of critical national and scientific services. The technology estate is complex and established - this isn't a greenfield startup - but that's exactly what makes it interesting. You'll be joining at a moment of genuine appetite for change, working alongside engineers and scientists who are deeply invested in what they build. If you're looking for a role where platform product management actually means something, this is it.

Take ownership of how a complex software platform evolves, with real input into solution design and delivery Work closely with experienced developers in a genuinely collaborative, agile environment Join a business with strong product-market fit and a growing global client base Be part of a close-knit, remote-first team where your contribution is visible and valued Opportunity to influence best practice and improve how analysis is delivered across the team Backed by a larger global software group, offering both stability and long-term career opportunities What's on Offer This role is fully remote (UK-based) and offers a salary of 45,000 - 55,000 alongside a strong benefits package.
